Food Cans

That plastic lining in the food cans leaches BPA into the food, which has been linked to; breast cancer, prostate disease and cancer, diabetes, obesity, hyperactivity, lowered sperm count, and a bunch of other stuff. Sorry this doesn't relate to scrapping, but I felt like sharing that info.
